New legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Senate that would remove the wolf from the endangered species list.
Senator Tammy Baldwin’s Northern Great Lakes Wolf Recovery Act would develop a regional-specific plan to delist the gray wolf in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The legislation would create an advisory committee comprised of members representing agriculture, Native and Tribal communities, heads of impacted-state agencies, and wolf management experts and scientists to create the final delisting rule for the region.
